Chapter Title: Yupia's Blackmail
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I felt it anew.
That Yupia was a dangerous woman.
"Hey! If Seo Jubin finds out it's gone, she'll lose her shit!"
"Let her."
Yupia replied with a bored expression.
"Without this, that uptight bitch'll have to write a report or something, right? Just imagining it is hilarious."
"You're seriously... Cut the crap and hand it over."
I reached out my hand in warning.
"Don't give Seo Jubin any more excuses to barge into my place."
"Nah."
Yupia stuck out her tongue and slipped the card between her cleavage.
"I've got business with this."
"Business?"
"Yeah. Hero Association underground level 5, special containment area. You heard of it?"
The playfulness vanished from her eyes, turning serious.
"A friend of mine I really care about is locked up there. Get her out for me, and I'll return this nice and quiet. I'll even leave your house."
"What?"
It was a tempting offer.
To end cohabitation with this ticking time bomb of a queen.
"But I've got conditions."
Yupia took a step closer to me.
"I don't know what'll happen if I go alone. If my mana runs out midway, I'll need you. So come with me."
That snapped me back to reality.
Fine if she burns herself out alone, but dragging me into it?
"Are you nuts? Why the hell would I go there? Help a villain break out and become a criminal myself?"
I bristled, and Yupia grinned.
She pulled the card from her cleavage again.
"Don't wanna? Fine, I'll just leave this on Seo Jubin's desk."
"Good call."
"And a note: 'From Kim Seonghwa.'"
"...?"
My brain short-circuited for a second.
What kind of bullshit was this?
"How's that? You'll be an accomplice with no way out. Think Seo Jubin'll let you off? She'll be shaking with betrayal and throw your ass in jail."
Yupia giggled and patted my shoulder.
It was childish blackmail, but knowing Seo Jubin's personality, totally plausible.
'Doesn't mean I'll play along.'
I forced a calm tone.
"Like Seo Jubin'd buy that. She'd be relieved to get the card back and go straight for you."
"You think?"
Yupia's lips curled slyly.
"That bitch already suspects us hooking up. You really think she'll just let it slide? Relieved? She'll grill you about copies and shit. Wanna test whose story she believes?"
I fell silent.
My face stayed stone, but my mind raced.
'If it's like Yupia says, Seo Jubin would interrogate me, and that'd just make things way more annoying.'
Then a clever idea hit.
'How about I just fuck her brains out right now?'
Knock her out cold with my dick and snag the card while she's passed out.
No real hiding spots on her body, so I could just claim I found it and return it to Seo Jubin.
"Yupia, how about instead..."
"Let's head to my place first."
"Huh?"
Not the scenario I expected.
"What's with the sudden..."
"This key alone ain't enough. Need internal Association intel to move."
"Your minions know that too?"
"What're you on about? I never asked them."
Yupia's lips twisted mischievously.
"Been a while since I checked on my toys."
"Toys?"
"Who better to ask about Hero Association internals than heroes?"
What the hell?
Did she have heroes stashed in her lair?
'Thought Lilith was half-lying, but she really has a female hero captured?'
Time to revise the plan.
Pretend I'm dragged here against my will for now, but I'll grab the real gains.
"No idea what you're on about, but fine. I'll help."
"Why the sudden positivity?"
I almost flinched.
But played it cool and brazen.
"Getting outed to Seo Jubin annoys me too. But after this, you really wrap it up quiet?"
"Knew you hated that bitch too. Us studs get each other."
Yupia beamed and clung to my arm.
"Hold tight. Might get motion sick."
"Wait, you can shadow jump too? Thought only Lilith could."
"Used to be. But your essence works better than expected. Upgraded me."
Stealth for one, shadow jump for the other.
I'd broken their limits somehow.
'Fuck.'
I swallowed a curse as black shadows swirled at our feet.
Our bodies got sucked into the darkness.
*
Vision blacked out, then lit up.
Yupia's secret lair.
"Missed this place."
Yupia hummed and led the way.
'Never thought I'd end up back here.'
I scanned around.
In the center of the vast, empty space, by the throne—someone was there.
'Lilith?'
She sat blankly on the throne, then jolted up in shock at our sudden appearance.
"Y-Yupia-nim?! M-Master?!"
"What? Guarding the house good?"
Yupia approached smugly.
Lilith's eyes shook.
"Why the face? Like you got caught stealing."
"N-No! Just so sudden... Where've you been?"
"None of your business. Anyway..."
Yupia's gaze dropped below the throne.
I looked too.
Two women lay chained to the floor.
'No way, for real?'
Not just any heroes—A-rank heroes.
Two of them!
"Whoa..."
A gasp slipped out.
'They're in rough shape.'
Expected, given who captured them.
But the wrecked look added eroticism.
Their hero suits clung tight, outlining every curve in sweat-soaked spandex, glistening lewdly.
'Flesh bulging from rips is hot too.'
Wet fabric squelched with every move.
Nipples and ass cracks obscenely visible where it stuck to skin.
"Ugh..."
They lifted their heads.
Glassy, unfocused eyes.
But spotting me, their pupils dilated slightly.
'What? They look like they know me?'
Not instinctual recognition.
Even Seo Jubin only sensed my weird aura vaguely.
So what was with those eyes?
'Wanna fuck you... Wanna get pounded by you...'
That's what they screamed.
'Ah, don't tell me... Yupia's aphrodisiac here too?'
It clicked, and damn, it turned me on.
Badly wanted to rip those sweaty suits and rail them.
But not the time.
Yupia glared daggers beside me.
"Good thing my toys are still alive."
Yupia glanced dismissively at the heroes and tugged my arm.
"Before we squeeze intel outta them, wanna go a round first?"
"Huh?"
"Playing dumb? Or shy 'cause of strangers?"
Yupia wrapped around my arm.
Her huge, soft tits squishing plushly.
"It's been ages here. Sound fun?"
She rubbed her thigh against mine like it was natural.
Ready to fuck right there with Lilith and the heroes watching.
"Here? With them watching?"
"So what? They're my slaves anyway."
Yupia tossed her shirt.
Instantly naked, she palmed my pants and licked her lips.
"Hurry and pull it out. I'm hungry."
Jackpot.
Things falling into place unexpectedly.
'Plan included knocking her out, but her serving opportunity on a platter? Sweet.'
But I pretended reluctance.
"Why should I?"
"What? After coming all this way?"
"I'm here 'cause of blackmail, not to fuck."
Yupia's face went blank.
But I kept going.
"Even if we fuck, it's for when your mana dips during the infiltration."
Simple reason for refusal.
I was the one who said no sex since she broke her promise first.
'But giving in easy now'd look suspicious.'
She'd already sniffed out my sudden positivity.
This act was essential.
"Ugh, come on! Just once! Please!"
Yupia whined, grinding her tits harder on my arm.
"Here after so long, yeah? Fill me up now, maybe we skip it there."
Begging in front of her minions.
'Didn't expect her to fold this quick... Reject more and I'll just bruise her pride.'
If she'd snapped, I'd keep bouncing her off the promise excuse.
But now was acceptance time.
'Pushback now'd just piss her off.'
I sighed like I gave in.
"Fine, just once."
"Yay!"
"Got it."
Yupia's face lit up.
She moved to yank my pants down.
No way.
"Wait. Not here—bedroom."
"Why? Annoying."
"Can't focus. And..."
I glanced at Lilith.
She gulped, eyeing us jealously.
"Might as well make it spicy."
"Spicy?"
"You can't handle my stamina alone. Passed out last time."
I smirked provocatively.
"What if Lilith joins?"
"Ha?!"
Yupia's brows shot up.
"Crazy? Why share with a subordinate? Think my plate's that small?"
She bristled.
Her queenly pride wouldn't allow it.
"Fine if not. But... you scared?"
"What?"
"Worried you can't outdo Lilith? She was pretty good when you got nabbed."
"...The hell."
Fire sparked in Yupia's eyes.
Hooked perfectly.
'For a prideful ball of competitiveness like Yupia, this bait's irresistible.'
Being compared in bed—where she felt supreme—would be an unbearable insult.
"Who said I'm scared? Don't make me laugh!"
Yupia huffed and glared at Lilith.
"Hey! Lilith! You're in too!"
"Y-Yes? M-Me too... really?"
Lilith's eyes widened in disbelief.
She eyed Yupia cautiously, but her tail wagged excitedly, unable to hide her thrill.
